On account of the bad weather there was drill only one day last week. By a resolution of the Board of Trustees there will only be forty drills. Including parade*;, etc., and the corps will go into summer quarters, to come out again in time to have forty drills, etc., before the close of the College next fall. By this resolution we will have to drill every evening. Have dress pa- 1 radeon Friday and make up drill on Satur- ] days. Dr. Quick was not able to meet his classes one or two days on account of the grip. Mr. Lawrence Parker, a representative of K. S. Hill <? Co., of Anderson, was here the 12th and 13ih with a line of gents' furnishing goods. Preaching Sunday by the Rev. Mr. Wilson. Text?"What shull a man profit If he gains the whole world and losses his own soul." The Y. M. C. A. was conducted Sunday < night by Cadet J. W. Sanders. Suoject? 1 "Love." The subject was well discusseu, and 1 touched the hearts of many. 1 The Board appropriated an other thousand dollars to the library. Prof. McLucas ard the(1 ?*"? crotflno' lin ft BPlfPtlun of I WUJlUlbbVG ?l V UWTT ^Vkvaw)) ? t~- ? ? books to be ordered. The books will be the latest and best. Some of the shrubs and evergreens that were ordered from Mr. Berckman have come, and are being set out under the direction of Prof. DuPre. In a year or two this is going to be one of the prettiest places in the South. Pr. Quick has employed a typewriter. The boys have organized a base ball team and have had one game. Dr. S. A. Steele's lecture on "Dixie During the War" was an hour and three quarters long, but so interesting that every one would have been willing to listen to him for three hours. As be lectured In Abbeville on the same subject we will not say anything more about it. Will some writer to the Press and Banner tell Elixir who it was that uttered the words, "I'll try, sir," on the very urge of a desparate and heroic enterprise. Mr. Aaron Boggs, well known to some of the Abbeville people, has been la very poor health thla winter, but is now galniug his strength again. A new boy comes in every now and then. For the benefit of the people, I will say that we have three hundred and seventeen students here now, besides nine post graduate students. Mr. A. Stacy, whose school has Just closed, returned to Clemson last Friday. Several of the people here were surprised as to the resultof theCorbett-Fitzsimmons fight. We believe John L. Sullivan spoke the truth when be said that no one would wear the belt as long as he did. The President announced in chapel the other morning that the Board of Trustees wanted the faculty to hold at least one meeting of the Farmer's Institute in every county of the State if possible. He also asked the boys to mention it In writing to their parents and county papers. These meetings are no expense to the people or county, and farmers you can't Imagine the benefit to be derived from one of these meetings until you have been present at oue. The faculty prefer holding the meetings in the country for several reasons: 1st. It is the farmers' Institute. I 2nd. They get the fresh air to speak In. J 3rd. They want to see something of the | country and crops, and several other reasons just as good, Jf not better. And then you can get Dr. Wyman toezarnine all the sick, lame, rheumatic and every other kind of horse by holding one of these meetings. Now, farmers, If you will select a church, school bouse, or any hall that Is large enough to speak In, and appoint a day, advertise it < well, and notify the President. They will hold a meeting of the Farmers' Institute lo Abbeville County. The following is a list of officers of the societies. FIRST?PALMETTO. President?D. H. Henry. Vice President?W. J. Sarratt.

When it Is not the officers day to drill they will have flag signaling under Captain Fuller. Cadets H. K. Gray and H. Glover visited their parents in Greenville Friday and Saturday nights.

Miss Llllle Templeton of Abbeville came in Saturday to spend a while with her friend Miss Annie Llddell. Misb R. E. Mo&ely and Walter Keese of Anderson came down yesterday by rail, and then beared the mud for a lew miles. No event of either aucient or modern times has aroused such widespread interest, as the late figbt, tor the worlds championship at Jarsou. The people every where seem to tiave run wild upon the subject-. The news papers uic iuu ui n. auu .j, seems to be not ouly lull, butrunnlng over. It has been and still Is the topic ot conversuHon, here, there and almost every where. Many of our good people used to think, (and so express themselves) that lo tight, was degrading, bellttlelng, [but how now, well tne change in name, may have change the leeliug. Now when two men pound each other, It Is moderuly Bpeakinga "?{love contesf'aud any body can cheer and congratulate the victor, tind symthlse with the whipped. Another very heavy rain Friday evening followed Saturday morning by welcome sunshine which called forth from some,the cry, ol "hurrah for the sunshine."

Last Friday morning our people were startled to hear or the unexpected death of Mrs. \V. F. Kennedy, she had a slight 6troke jf apoplexy Monday evening, another early Friday morning pretty soon followed by mother, In which Bhe died. She had been sick, as will be seen irom tue aoove, ior several days, but was not considered dangerously so, even by the family till a few minutes before she breathed her last. She was born near Level Land, on Little River, In 1823. Her maiden name was Miss Emily Brooks, find was united in marriage, in about 1210 to Mr. W. F. Kennedy, by whom she had three ihlldren, two daughters, both ol whom died a lew years ago, and a son, Mr. \V. L. Kennedy, who still lives. Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy travelled along life's Journey together, almost half a century, which can be said ol somparatlvely few. Mrs. Kennedy was a member of the Methodist church since early childhood, faithfully performing all ol Us requirements, living a consistent christian life. As wile, mother, neighbor, Jriend, 6he was ill that could have been aesireu. sue win oe :reatly missed, but our loss Is her gain. Her remains were funeralised io the Methodist :hurchatlla. in.

THOSE FINE MULES. Johnny Re?l I'oUeN Fun nt Us? IIul Does it In a Uoutl Humored WayBill McKlnney'jt Speckled Steer. Greenwood, S. C., March 2!), 1KU7. Press and Banner:?Well, Mr. Editor, our last primary is over, and Thos. A. Graham is elected Auditor, and "Old "Cit" woti't get to hold tbat mass meeting iobbk mm 10 resign, lor simply a little piece of pleasantry lie indulged in, In suggesting tbat we observe an emancipation day; all said iu fun. J am sure be bad no one in view In making bis remark, unless it was "Old Cit" and bis class, wbicb the Lord knows we are thankful to get away from. Sam Jones says?"the bit dog always howls." You have in Abbeville a number of men, whom we bate to leave. Dr. Hill, Dick and Heury Hill, and other Hills?but the political Hill?we are thankful to be delivered of. Why he is as sensitive as Lr, .Steel In his lecture said, the United States, was during the war. shell the woods all day, if you in fun. pointed a stick at one of the gun boats. I guess be is like the United States during the war; mad because we seccdcd. Weil, Mr. Editor, we will now very soon go to house keepiug for ourselves. Wo did think our old mother should have divided the mules with us. She was very selfish In keep ing tbem all; and what made the mailer sc bad, she just went and bought 40 or 50 more big tine new mules and brought tbem to the old homestead, the very day we were lo leave lor us to look at. and make our mouths watei for a part of them, and would not as much as give us one of the old sore back mules, we had owned for several years. The only thing In the way of four footed beast we have to start with Is Bill McKlnneys "speckle steer" and how can that little speckle steer pull a road scraper all by his self. You ju6t know, Mr. Editor, he can't do it. Yes, Mr. Editor, you tolks were selfish, just look how your did as to the streams and bridges. Wby you would not let us have any part of Long Caue, or any of her bridges. You Just seem to know exactly where eight miles would reach, so as to lake in all the bridges on Long Cane. We are as short of bridges as we are of mules. You Just seem determined to keep all the mules, bridges and bills ; we just can't help ourselves. We will have to take Bill's "speckle steer" to start with and work him, till we can collect taxes. Well, Mr. Editor, aftor writing the above, and thinking over the matter, I don't know as the division was so one sided after all. Let see how we stand. You got the mules and bridges. We got all the railroad property and the speckle steer, (and you know ihe railroad shops always follows the biggest part ot the railroad So look out.) You got the red, blue and gray hills. We got the rich level plains, the land ol red oats, clover, pea vine hay, jersey cows, cotton fields, cotton mills. Yes, we are going this summer to build a new l^irt House, a James (?. Dandy one, witty,* tcTtfer for our city clock, and you all mi^ut hear it strike the Bolemn hours of the f'.'^bt, if we could only keep our shifting engines still for a fe\r minutes or so, but they have so much work to do on the numerous railroads running into Greenwood both day and night, that thev are never quiet. Yes, we will soon part, but part we must as the best ol friends, (II you tellowsdld keep-all the mules.) While Old Abbeville has surely "Jost her garden spot she still has in every part of her some of the best people in the world. The city of Abbeville has them. LowndesvlIle, Antreville, Due West, Mt. Carmel,. McCormlck,all up the Savaunali river, and^dowc Long Cane, in every nook and corner of thi ^rand old county, there lives as brave men and as pretty women as the sun ever shone upon. Did you notice I did not include Donalds and Troy with the other places?the reason was they will be a part ol Greenwood county in less than a year, and then won't we have railroad property. You bet. Hurrah! for Bill McKinney and his speckle steer. If Bill did get beat a few votes I'm sheriff, it is not always the case the best mau gets in, for isn't "Old Cit" and the fellow lie beat. Come down, Mr. Editor, when we e?'t to house keeping. We will always be glad le see some oue from the old homestead. I am satisfied Tom Graham has a heart big enough to forgive "Old Clt" if he will call in the Auditor's office sometime when down. Yours truly, "Johnnie Ked." DENTAL NOTICE. S. F.
